For over 25 years, Max has been making technology a medium of creative expression.

As part of the IMPART/SUBCLASS program at the University of British Columbia's School of Music and the UBC ICICS Sound Studio, Kieran Coulter explores ideas behind repurposing Kinect and Playstation Move controllers as multimedia devices at a Max Connect event.

Educational Institutions

Institutions all over the world have integrated Max into their classrooms, labs, and performance spaces. Max is an ideal teaching tool that introduces students to the world of media technology with an intuitive graphical interface.

At the same time, Max can be used as a platform for advanced research via Javascript and C++ APIs, the unique Gen language for DSP and visual effects, and thousands of third-party extensions. We provide a variety of options for students and institutions to use Max.
